I grew up in Beaumont, CA, near Palm Springs -- where I spent a great deal of time in the late 60's and 70's. My love for modern and mid-century run deep.
I now live with my husband and two young children in Sacramento, CA. We have two mid-century modern homes, one of which is an Eichler.
Thanks for stopping by :) *clinking virtual martini*

When I started this blog in 2008, it was a journey about restoring one Eichler home in Sacramento. I did my research and soon discovered there are so many great mid-century and modern resources to celebrate in our region.

It all started with this blog — but it has grown into something much bigger. The magnitude of what it takes to fight for a resource, whether it be art, design or architecture, was not originally apparent to me. But I know what's worth fighting for and am willing to receive both praise and a black eye for it!

If you came here for information about Eichler homes in Sacramento, poke around! I pass along this torch to our lovely Sacto Eichlerhood neighbors at fogmodern. They are also documenting their journey restoring their beautiful home.

If you are interested in more information about Streng Bros. Homes, check out my posts of yore. But for information about homes and buildings designed by architect Carter Sparks, I highly recommend the wonderfully curated Carter Sparks Archive, by SacMod board member Justin Wood.
